In case you were wondering, cliff camping is exactly what it sounds like – hang over the side of a cliff! The hanging tent, or the portaledge (as it\u2019s called), has an aluminium frame and a sturdy base so that it can easily hold the weight of two people high off the ground. That\u2019s not all! These tents are also fastened to a large rock or boulder using a strong rope designed to take up to 600 kg.<\/p>\n

Other than the tent, you too will be safely harnessed to a rope with carabiners at all times, even when you\u2019re inside the tent. At Sandhan Valley you\u2019ll also find as many as three tents connected together through one primary safety cable, as an added safety measure.<\/p>\n
